I saw this, awesome deal!

 

WOW, that is one sexy laptop!

 

That is a rockin' deal...I so want this baby

Sexy..Sleek and very unique.

Now I'm looking at my Credit Card balance!

Cin

 

MY god! Now i wish i was in the states so i could scoop this up

 

That's too bad..

I have to decide to order this, or wait for the Adamo 13 to be released.

And, I need to decide soon. buy.com's deals usually sell out quickly, and this could also sell very fast!..


Cin

 

I could be wrong, but I don't the Adamo is going to be anywhere close to this price. Thinner and lighter, yes, but probably at the cost of power. Though call.

Price: X460
Weight: Adamo
Power: X460
Looks: Adamo (but the X460 is in class of it's own to be a 14 incher)

 

Yes..it will be a hard choice...Order now..or wait!!! If I hadn't come across this Samsung...I would've been good to go..waiting on the Adamo!

Thanks for the information It surely helps!

Cin

 

Of course if you wait, Windows 7 will be coming out soon too. Windows 7 on a Adamo sounds pretty sweet!

 

Yes, you are very correct on that! W7 on the Adamo = :yes:

I'm sure I can wait. I'm pretty good at that..waited long enough for the Mini 9 to come availi' in red!


Cin

 

Nice deal.

Here is $10 Off coupon

http://www.buy.com/retail/coupon.asp?prid=82955137

 

That thing looks pretty slick. I've never even heard of this notebook.

 

Thank you for this coupon!

Yeah, it's sweet. I'm not sure what I'm going to do regarding ordering it!


Cin

 

Go 4 it without hesitation.

 

WOW That is a pretty awesome deal, I'd so go for it! !!

 

Awww, thanks guys ~ You really don't help in my *should I really order* thought process...comments like those make me want to order it!

LOL...it's appreciated..


Cin

 

I have been watching this laptop for the past 4 days.


I think I am gonna go for it.

 

you should this notebook is awesome and WELL worth the money.

 

How long is this deal going to last?

 

The $300 rebate ends at the end of the month Feb 28


btw; I have seen the sales rank from 747, 343, and now 224

haha.

 

If someone finally gets it please tell me how is the display? I know Samsung used to make some of the crappiest laptop screens in the business so I would like to know how good this display is.

 

Buy.com does not have this anymore.

Newegg.com has it but it is $949.
and CompUSA.com has it for $899

However, CompUSA.com is not mentioned in the rebate. Make sure to double check this.

 

Yepper's site states *temporarily sold out*

Oh well, it was good whilst it lasted


Cin

 

Its back at buy.com with $889 after MIR!
Go get it!!

 

Cin, wait for the adamo! The Adamo looks sickkk

 

Ahhh..I'm so torn...Samsung..Adamo...Samsung...Adamo!

And, yes the deal is back! Thanks!

I might just wait! Thanks!

Yes, its look's sickkk sleek and sexy. :yes:


Cin

 

Just ordered the Samsung...2 days shipping!!

Woohoo

 

WoOT and Wahooooo Grat's to you.

Will you please, provide some pics, and how you are liking it ~ once you have received it?


Cin

 

Please let us know how you like it

Thanks.
I think I am going to hold off buying this one; the red colour is just too much for me.

I am eyeing Lenovo t400 and 61 right now.

 

I was close to picking up this as well. It is actually cheaper at Tiger Direct, if you use Live.com 5% Cashback.. comes to about 850.... It has everything i wanted, and looks sexy as hell, but what killed the deal for me was the glossy finish. I have a Samsung Plasma, and Rock Band 2 guitar that have similar glossy material, and i know i couldn't deal with the constant grease and finger prints. Hopefully they fix this for there next years replacement...

 

OMG GET IT if i had the money...id so get this

 

Anyone receive their X460 yet? Any comments?

 

Here's the most recent review:

http://www.pocket-lint.co.uk/reviews/review.phtml/3849/4873/samsung-x460-notebook-pc-review.phtml

 

Ordered my X460 Friday with $2.99 2-day delivery from Buy.com. Thanks for the tip! Got it on Saturday even though my order still said "Processing". I don't order often from Buy.com, but they have a main warehouse about 5 miles away and it almost always comes next day when it's in stock there, regardless of the shipping option I select.

Anyway, so far a very nice machine. There are a few quirks that have been identified in reviews, but for the $880 price after rebate, there's not much competition with its feature set at a 4 pound weight. The Lenovo U330 was my other option.

I'll put a quick review in the X460 thread soon.

 

Awesome! Early delivery is always, a very good thing!

Can't wait to see your quick review....(will we get a pic' too,)?


Cin

 

Turning out to be a bit more detailed than I thought. I may just put it in my blog, as I'm out of relevant material at the moment. I'll make a summary and post the link on this thread http://forum.notebookreview.com/showthread.php?t=302788 when I finish, hopefully Monday. I'll put in a pic for ya lol.

It's a nice deal at the moment. Lots of other stuff I'd consider at the $1500 normal price without a rebate, though.

 

If this is the model im thinking of, maximum pc did a review on it

pros: dual core laptop for sub 1k nice battery life
cons: feels like a cheap notebook

 

I didn't see that review and couldn't find it on a quick search- do you have a link? I guess that's as good of a quick summary as you could get lol.

I'll have my review Tuesday. I was having some Vista issues related to manual shutdown and cold startups. I think they are resolved now. I'm almost certain it's a software issue, since it wasn't a problem with the factory build. It only started at some point after I did a fresh install on an SSD drive. I probably did something out-of-order, as this is my first Vista machine. I also want to have a few more runs through a full charge for Battery Bar to have better information.

Other than that, it's a lot of machine for the price, especially considering it's thin and only weighs a hair over 4 pounds. My biggest complaint is the vertical viewing angles and the loss of contrast at the brightest settings, especially if you are even a little above or below the sweet spot for viewing.

Sure, I would have rather had something nicer and lighter like a Vaio Z, Toshiba R600 or Lenovo X301, but the street prices on those are at least $500 more than what I paid.

 

they are back in stock at buy.com.

 

So the bad viewing angles and narrow sweet spot common to most Samsung displays are still around... This is a deal breaker for me.

 

Depends on your priorities. For example, if you're using it on a plane, it's not a good choice. In a narrow seat with the notebook on your lap, you'll be looking down on the screen from above at an angle, because you may not have enough room to tilt it back. So, it will be low contrast. Fine for text, barely tolerable for movies or graphics.

On a table or location where you can tilt the screen to the sweet spot, it seems a fair trade for the great brightness the display can pump out.

I can see this being a deal breaker for a lot of people. I don't think it is for me, but I will have to decide in a week.

 

I couldn't find the review at Max' PC...Do you have a linky, please!

That's very good!
